Staying Alert
(Covid lockdown)
(Stay alert)
(Save lives)
What day is it? What time is it?
When did I last brush my teeth?
Doing business in a zoom call
With my pjs underneath
Thursday night is my new favourite
Clapping 'til both my palms hurt
But it won't be our 'new normal'
'Cos we've all been staying alert
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying alert, staying alert
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying aler- (stay alert, stay alert) - ert (stay alert, stay alert)
Oh ooh - (stay alert, stay alert) - ooh (save lives)
Staying alert

With my Disney plus subscription
I've watched too much HSM
'Cos we're 'All In This Together'
Someone should tell our PM (lockdown)
I've bathed in sanitiser
Scrubbed my hands until they sting
But the only thing more painful
Is binge watching Tiger King
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying alert, staying alert
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying aler- (stay alert, stay alert) - ert (stay alert, stay alert)
Oh ooh - (stay alert, stay alert) - ooh (save lives)
Staying alert
Friends skype me 50 times a week
But we've nothing left to say
'Cos it's hard to give an update
When each day's like groundhog day
My crush was always busy
Or at least that's what he said
Now even though his days are empty
I still get left on 'read'
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying alert, staying alert
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying aler- (stay alert, stay alert) - ert (stay alert, stay alert)
Oh ooh - (stay alert, stay alert) - ooh (save lives)
All that's left is empty aisles, 'cos some idiots stockpiled
Trading loo roll like it's our new currency
Having fist fights for some pasta, in the dried goods aisle of Asda
Then they limit me to one bag of penne... yeah!
My homemade face masks out of socks are making people stare
Or perhaps it's my new mullet, after cutting my own hair
Trying to master twelve new skills is going to my head
But it's going on my hips as well as I've been baking so much bread
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying alert, staying alert
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying aler- (stay alert, stay alert) - ert (stay alert, stay alert)
Oh ooh - (stay alert, stay alert) - ooh (save lives)
Staying alert
I'll soon work all the weight off
I did ninety miles in May
'Cos each time someone gets near me
I run a mile the other way
The rules of the pandemic I've been trying to embrace
But all it's done is made me more aware
Of how much I touch my face
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying alert, staying alert
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying aler- (stay alert, stay alert) - ert (stay alert, stay alert)
Oh ooh - (stay alert, stay alert) - ooh (save lives)
But it's not all doom and gloom, being stuck here in this room
I feel just like Rapunzel, in a way
She was feeling like a loner, in her tower, in Corona
But she knew in time there'd come a better day... yay!
Now I'll never take for granted
My family and friends
There are lessons that will stay with us
Long after the pandemic ends
We must rally all together
For the sick and poor and hurt
And always show we care, and stay aware
When we're not staying alert
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying alert, staying alert
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying aler- (stay alert, stay alert) - ert (stay alert, stay alert)
Oh ooh - (stay alert, stay alert) - ooh (save lives)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying alert, staying alert
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Staying ale-e- ert
Oh ooh ooh
(Stay alert)
(Save lives)
What day is it? What time is it?
